Career-engaged Learning Opportunities!

Wayne State University’s Division of Entrepreneurship & Economic Development (DEED) drives career-engaged learning by bridging classroom knowledge with real-world experience, preparing students to thrive in today’s economy. This Giving Day, we invite you to support our work in connecting students to new, exciting career-engaged learning opportunities that connect classroom knowledge with real-world experience.

DEED equips WSU students with the skills, mentorship and hands-on experiences needed to enter the workforce with confidence, contribute to the region’s economy and drive innovation in their fields. Through internships, project-based learning and direct engagement with industry leaders, we are ensuring that students graduate career-ready with the connections and expertise to thrive. Your donation fuels this pipeline, providing access to critical training, mentorship, and professional development experiences that bridge the gap between education and meaningful careers. Together, we can strengthen Detroit’s talent pipeline and empower the next generation of professionals.
